maybe I change my mind. I would want to have the second best because right now the iphone is not fit into my budget. maybe a cheaper one that still comes with most if not all of its features

It is always difficult to advise someone when making a purchase because we all have different tastes and opinions. I usually upgrade to a new phone every 18 months to 2 years. During this period of time there are a lot of technical advances in the mobile phone field, but this means that I have very limited knowledge of what is available and what would suit me best. I usually purchase one of the mobile phone magazines to familiarise my self with the current variety of models, which is a small investment to make when considering to purchase an item of such value as a new mobile phone.

Indeed, with newer, more feature rich and technologically advanced phones coming up in market every few months, the choice at times becomes difficult. While we normally prefer bigger and more popular brands, at times, a lesser known brand might also come up with a mobile product that is better than many of its contemporaries. Still, one has to decide when to purchase a new mobile, and which one.

yes that is correct. i feel that every month there are new phones coming out and they would always make it sound that it is bigger or better or much easier to use. this is the reason why I have not bought a phone for about 3 years but right now I feel that it is already time to upgrade to a newer one

Hi, You should not be jealous of your boyfriend. But if you want to have best phone then I can suggest you Samsung Galaxy phone which is best one. My son is having that. But I use very simple phone just making and receiving calls sms and some simple facilities. Today's generation is enjoying the life with buying latest and best things.

yes I think that is what is amazing in this generation. the manufacturers are at a race in giving the consumers the best and the latest and the most up to date technology. i also do sms only and not more on calls but I do want to taste the apps that they offer in the phones.

Is Samsung Galaxy new phone available in your country? Or Nokia Lumia ? These two woulds be good choices.

yes the samsung galaxy phone is available here in our country but then it costs much more than the sony ericsson phone. i think it has the same price range as that of the iphone and maybe it would take me a year to pay for that kind of phone.

I have a smart phone and wish I knew that RAM is important. Be sure whatever you buy it has a lot of RAM and internal memory on the phone. I have to do some workaround to install all the programs I want.

I understand the jealously!I I see all these people with smartphone, and I still have the old traditional style of phones. I've done a little research on phones, and WOW they have changed so much. I think that pretty much if you are planning to get a new phone you should really think about the features and tools that you want it to have to fit your lifestyle. I know from looking around that pretty much I am craving one that has the Microsoft Office Apps on it so that I can do work especially when waiting for appointments. Lately, I have also been thinking how cool it would be if my phone would allow me to upload my favorite songs. Especially to wake up to motivating music instead of the blazing sound of an alarm every morning. I would think about your needs, your lifestyle, and your wish list of features for your phone then go have fun window shopping either at the mall where you can you play with the phones and ask tons of questions or online where you can read the reviews on the latest phones or even better both so you can make a totally informed shopping decision. Let's face it most cell phone companies make us sign those 2 year contracts so you want to ensure that you are going to love and enjoy your phone for a long time.

Thanks a ton for the discussion. Well i can understand that u must be envious of your boyfriend for having such a new phone and u must be longing to have one for yourself and i think this is a normal feeling. U should go for the smartphones that has become a hit among the people these days. What say?
